You could write a .desktop file to launch the applicaton. The guide is https://specifications.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html. And then double click on the desktop file to play Minecraft. |

I've made a bash script with this code to simplify process. However, I'm just thinking that as it's java executable file, it should be executed like a normal program without any tricks with terminal and custom .desktop files. What do you think? |

And anonther way is setting "open with". In general, how to lanunch an application and using what to open a file depend on application itself configuration wthen it was installed. |

That's how it's done in ubuntu, so what's the matter with deepin? A packaging issue? |

Oh, I totally forgot youtube is banned. It's basically what you've said with .desktop file serving as a handler. There is an option to open with "OpenJDK Java 8 runtime" on Ubuntu but for some reason I can't see anything like that on deepin. |

That's why I'm asking whether is a packaging issue. Deepin does not include this .desktop file automatically for some reason. Can you fix it? |

I guess I don't see a point in executing this command. Obviously it won't show anything, because there is no .desktop file that comes from deepin repositories(which would handle .jar executable). Am I missing something? |

I don't think that different version of java have anything to do with this issue. Basically the point is that Ubuntu ships Java with Imo. it's a pretty big problem, because people can't simply download java file like minecraft and click on the launcher from the file manager. Currently on deepin to workaround this issue you have to either:

Actually I don't know if it should be resolved by the File manager, but right now when I want to play Minecraft I have to execute
java -jar '/home/marcin/Downloads/TLauncher-2.75/TLauncher-2.75.jar'which is not the case in Windows.Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
